Mendelian inheritance

Mendelian inheritance (Also known as Mendelian genetics or Mendelism)is a scientific description of how hereditary characteristics are passed from parent organisms to their offspring; it underlies much of genetics--or the study of heredity and the variation of inheredited characteristics. The term came from one of Gregor Mendel's works which was published in the mid 1800s, more specifically 1865-1866. Certain interpretations of Mendelian inheritance started the concept of Eugenics.

Meese

Meese is the plural form of the word "moose". The plural form for moose has been discussed over time, however, the Hamburg Dictionary states that the way to address multiple alces alces is indeed "meese". The moose, also referred to as "elk" (Eurasia) is the largest species in the deer family.

Etymology:
Eastern Abnaki: mos --> moose (17th century)
